Geometry Tutoring in Ashburn, VA
Geometry tutoring that follows your child's class, with extra focus on proofs, which many strong algebra students find hard at first. Small groups of up to 3, or 1-on-1 on request.
What we cover in geometry
Reasoning and proofs
Logic, conditional statements and two-column and paragraph proofs, step by step until students can write their own.
Lines and angles
Parallel and perpendicular lines, angle relationships and transversals.
Congruent and similar triangles
Triangle congruence and similarity criteria, and proofs that use them.
Right triangles and trigonometry
The Pythagorean theorem, special right triangles, and sine, cosine and tangent.
Polygons and circles
Properties of quadrilaterals and polygons, and arcs, chords, tangents and angles in circles.
Area, surface area and volume
Formulas for two- and three-dimensional figures and how to choose the right one in word problems.
Coordinate geometry and transformations
Distance, midpoint and slope proofs, and translations, reflections, rotations and dilations.
Every session follows your child's class
Tutoring on a different topic or at a different pace from school rarely helps grades. So each session works on what the teacher is covering now. How our tutoring works
- Re-teach this week's lessons until they make sense
- Finish homework correctly and turn it in on time
- Practice for upcoming quizzes and tests
- Work ahead on the next concepts when caught up

Small groups of no more than 3 students; 1-on-1 (mainly online) on request. Students who want more than one session a week can add 1-hour sessions at $50 per hour.
*The $200 / month option (one 1-hour session a week) is an add-on for students who already spend at least 90 minutes a week with us, for example in SAT prep or another subject. On its own, tutoring starts with one 90-minute session a week ($300 / month): the minimum we need for a student to learn the material, solve problems, finish homework and prepare for tests.
Questions parents ask
My child was good at algebra but struggles in geometry. Why?+
Geometry asks students to explain why, not just calculate. We teach a clear method for proofs and practice it until it becomes routine.
